I'd imagine it's related to binding issues.  Centered on a page isn't
really centered when you've bound a score, because of the center
gutter.  I recall printing out some music previously in LP that took
into account the center gutter and moved entire pages slightly
left-right depending on the side of the page.  It's not a large
distance, but it was noticeable.  Perhaps the bug is that the music
isn't shifting anymore? (though I'm pretty sure I was using 2.4.2)  Or
is this something we should be letting our PDF viewers (or PS handlers)
manage and just always have LP center everything exactly? (If, of
course, you've set the margins that way)

Cheers,
